Biosolids
Chairman Monaghan asked if
Metro will check into charging more for the hay bales that
are high in nitrogen. Mr. Peeler said he will check into

round bales and the majority of the landscapers want square
bales. Mr. Martin said Metro could use the hay for their
projects alone.
b.
Collections Systems
Chairman Monaghan wanted to
know if the pump that failed in Harborside was still under
warranty. Mr. Martin said no the pump was not under
warranty; the pump was four years old. Chairman Monaghan
noted the grinder pump revenue and expenses are pretty even
year to date.
c.
Engineering
Chairman Monaghan inquired
about obtaining more grants for the Lakeshores area. Mr.
Martin said Metro is working on obtaining more grants.
Metro found out that right now they have a better chance of
obtaining grants inside the City. Chairman Monaghan asked
if the flow from Ascend has increased. Mr. Williamson said
the flow from the south plant has increase some but the flow
from the north plant has not increased. Commissioner Watts
inquired if the flow from Fuji has increase. Mr. Williamson
said the flow has not increase but staff at Fiji anticipates
that it will increase. Chairman Monaghan wanted to know the
status of the Lander University Sports Complex getting
sewer. Mr. Hemphill suggested having a meeting with Lander,
Lander’s Accounting Department, and Metro to discuss the
project. He said Metro could do this based on a front foot
assessment. Manager Coleman will contact Lander to set up
the meeting.
d.
I/I Abatement
Chairman Monaghan wanted to
know what was going at Highway 225 and West Alexander that
Metro would need to review the plans for. Mr. Waldrep said
a lot of the property there already has sewer.
e.
Wilson Creek
Chairman Monaghan inquired if
Metro was able to find any Homeland Security Grants for
Wilson Creek. Mr. Williamson said he has not been able to
find any right now, but he is still looking. Mr. Peeler
said he did find out that M/R Systems offers a surveillance
system through the SCADA system. Mr. Peeler will provide
an update cost estimate to the Commissioners at the next
board meeting.

Other Service Reports
Chairman Monaghan asked for
an update on the Metro using a translation service. Mr.

Metro does have an employee who speaks Spanish but the
employee was off on that particular day.
